Beyoncé Refuses to Let a Thunder Storm Ruin Her Formation World Tour

When Beyoncé stopped in North Carolina in May for her Formation World Tour, she wasn't sure if a concert was actually going to happen. With nonstop rain and threatening thunderstorms, the performance was on the verge of being cancelled. Even after she had made her rounds in Europe and the U.S., this was the first time it had ever rained on tour. In a new video she posted on her Facebook page, the singer shares the stress from the show a few months later.

"If it rains, Lord, we know it's your will. We're gonna make lemonade out of these lemons," she said in a pre-show prayer with her team. She and her dancers were pulled off the stage since the weather was so bad, but fans waited out the storm to see Beyoncé finish her set. Eventually she did return, much to the crowd's delight, despite getting herself (and her designer tour wardrobe) drenched.

"The rain was awesome! I'm so glad so many of my fans stayed out in this craziness," she said backstage after the performance. "I'm sure I'll have others," Bey said of the rainy concert, "But this will never be forgotten."
